Default I got mine----------

But I am a bit shocked at the prices.

For my 10, from Vans a full set of belts/shoulder harnesses is apx 320.

From the order form, the same from Hooker is 520.

So, thus the question????

Are the Hookers worth the extra $200??? for a non aerobatic airplane???

I can't answer that Mike, all I know is that the Hookers I've seen on the RV7's around here are great quality. I'm not promoting Hooker above any other, I have organised the group buy only becuase from day one my harness of choice has been Hooker, I had one in my Pitts and it was superb, so for me its very much a personal choice based on past experience.

Regards

Martin, thanks for the response----------seems to me that in a Pitts or something else that spends a lot of time other than straight/level, this might be an issue.

Anyone else have a comment ???

Mike,

There were a couple of group buys for CROW harnesses. I went with them about a year ago and everyone who sees them comments on how much better that the Van's harnesses they are. Not up to the same standards as Hooker but a step up from Van's and slightly less expensive than Van's. Check out the Crow group buy threads.

Good Luck

Thanks Peter,

Not having run one of these group buys before I'm not sure of the procedure but I figure that when you have sent your order, send me an email so that I can check it against the original list, that way I'm not likely to miss anyone out.

Default Confusion reigns

Does anyone have a picture or somesuch showing which is the trim on these harnesses and how it relates to the padding/webbing?
